"See what you get for spurning my love, Sinbad!" the witch screamed. He didn't have a chance to reply. With one last blast she made sure that the Captain would never spurn anyone in anything again. Ever again.
Maeve ran over to his fallen form, trying her damnedest to find a pulse, hear him breathing, anything to prove that he might still be alive. But the light that was Sinbad was gone, and it would never dwell in that body again.
"You evil bitch!" Maeve screamed.
"Aw... The poor little peasant wench is upset. Let me put you out of your misery!" With that Rumina unleashed an attack on Maeve, but it was harder than she thought it would be. Maeve was an Irish woman on a mission, an unstoppable force. In no time at all Rumina was dead and Maeve was slumped over Sinbad's corpse, crying over the loss of her Captain, her friend, her love, her entire world and reason for living.
That's when Maeve realized it: she no longer had a reason for living. Sinbad was dead and her quest was done: Rumina was dead, Dermott was free, and Dim Dim would be free from his prison now that there was no force left alive to keep him there.
*No reason to live..... he's dead... dead... dead... dead...* the words echoed over and over in her head. There was nothing left for her here without Sinbad, so she knew it was time for her to go.
Silently Maeve raised her hands high in the air, softly she chanted and rhythmically moved her fingers and hands, charging them with energy that was unparalleled in all the universe, preparing for that fateful moment that would have an impact on all the entire world as we know it.
With one final action and a mental 'goodbye' to all her friends and the family that had still never forgiven her, Maeve released ever ounce of power she possessed and unleashed it..... on herself. In a blinding flash that was seen for miles in all directions and even from the stars above, Maeve was gone.
